Reviews
Review by: Timothy Kelley, Help Me Grow Project Director, Union County Health Department, Ohio
"We have partnered with daycares and doctor's offices in encouraging families to complete the questionnaire, and we have found ASQ-3 to be a great tool for child find, parent education, and helping childcare centers and physician's office know the children they serve better."
Review: Impact NW Healthy Start~Healthy Families program, Oregon
"[With ASQ-3], staff and parents can better discern if a referral should be made or monitoring is more appropriate . . . an excellent tool in determining if a baby's development is typical or needs intervention."
Review by: Jo Ann Waggoner, Community Health Nurse Supervisor, Healthy Start, Maryland
"The most important aspects of ASQ-3 [are] the new cutoff scores and encouraging monitoring of children to promote early intervention."
